A world boss added with Mists of Pandaria. According to known information, we will need a whole raid group (25?) to down this... thing. It has three known spawnpoints, all in Kun-Lai Summit zone, one of which is visible from Horde starting area on Pandaria. As it wanders around, it causes nearby mobs go elite and hostile (if they weren't already).

Comment by Zanzah

This boss works like a portal from Rift. It teleports randomly around between its four spawnpoints (when it's up). He gives all mobs around him a buff which makes them hostile and much more powerful. The boss itself has 348 million health and will most likely drop an unique mount.

Did a /target Sha of Anger in the wreck and got it's target, had 218M HP.

dispite showing up with Galleon in http://mop.wowhead.com/zone=6067#comments they are in fact brand new world bosses in MoP. i have yet to see this terrifying thing myself but i ran into galleon and was smooshed brings back memories of the world bosses in vanilla WoW

*edit* i ran into this beast because the latest patch opened up kumlai summit to players he towers above many bosses you may have seen in game roughly same height as galleon and has very smooth and eerie animations.

Comment by markc1999

He also despawns and respawns at one of his random spots if someone attacks him and dies. He does not "wander around"Spawn locations:- Near One Keg- On his PH icon on the map- Will update more later

side note: trying to get a group together for him isnt easy with no general chat -_-

Comment by Asgalon

The boss can be defeated with 10 players.

Comment by Melilithia

This boss looks amazing. Kudos to Blizzard's Art Team for making such an awesome NPC! :D

Comment by anthrob

I wonder if the Sha were created by an old god.

Comment by Sora14

Am I the only one who thinks, that warriors have "a huge disadvantage" at this guy?

Comment by Miamber

Spotted the Sha at 67.77 missed a screen shot of him as the server restarted was 4:30pm realm time on 8-24-12

Comment by Neonatrias

Was running around the area today and kept seeing yells from this guy every now and then. He seems to yell one of his lines every time he teleports to a new location. The yells seem to be to the zone rather than in a radius, similar to the world dragon bosses from vanilla WoW.

Regarding his spawn habits, it seems that he spawns on those areas of sha-touched land where the clusters of Seething Sha run around. I was also (un?)lucky enough to witness him emerging from a teleport. There's a span of time where elite enemies will spawn around one of the sha-touched areas while sha sprays up from it high into the air. (It's actually really awesome.) Anyway, you have I'd guess around 30 seconds from the start of that until he completes his teleport to that location.

He is also very large, and I'd guess his targetable range is about 25% of the zone.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, he also has his own very freaky theme music when you're near him. It's a nice touch.

Comment by haederman

just down on mal'ganis 2:10 est 40 man raid with 89-90, doesnt require a fully decked out 90 to do it, did it fine with 89's in quest gear, not a single person died.

Comment by Lyandria

Around 30-40 manned on outland 2 minutes ago

Comment by Saanth

We killed this today on Kil'Jaeden. We had 40 people with about 18 level 90's. None of them were really geared. The minimum level we had was 87 or 88. Definitely a cool fight and doing this while leveling is one of the coolest experiences I've had in Warcraft to date. This is just kind of my notes on the encounter.

It says that he has 2 phases, but I don't really agree. He's got one phase and after 50 seconds he takes a short break and nukes your raid for 25 seconds. This was pretty significant damage to lower levels, but we didn't line up any CD usage. As a level 88 boomkin with around 200k health I survived using Barkskin and self-healing (Other than the healers who were healing). I'd call it like 1.5 phases.In his main phase he calls down adds which hit pretty hard, you need tanks to pick up these adds and DPS to AoE them down. We assigned about 3 levels 90's to be on adds full time. We also used ranged AoE from the lower levels.

Something not stated on the encounter page is the fact that the Sha-Touched ground below him gives an aura that gives 20% increased damage dealt and increases your damage taken by 20%. This is unavoidable for melee but should definitely be avoided by healers. Ranged can go either way on this one, really depends on your healers. During his nuke phase you should move out if your ranged or a melee trying to cut damage. Not sure what his hit box is like but melee may be able to move out of this if it's large enough.

One aspect of the fight is graveyard zerging. We fought him right besides a graveyard so it was about a 12 second run to return to the fight. Make sure your raid is aware of the fact they need to run back while fighting. I don't think a single member of our raid made it through without dying once. To build on that, make sure you have a lot of tanks, we rolled 4 total tanks.Having talked to our guild resto shaman who was at the kill he said that he actually had to work to keep everyone up. We rolled with about 8 total healers but didn't set up CD's (as stated before) so I would assume that doing that would significantly reduce the strain on healers.

A little bit for low levels here. This thing is awesome at low levels, you really feel like its a challenge but this does have some drawbacks to it.

You need to reach hit cap (or as close as you can get) for a level 90. I reforged all my gear to hit/spirit and I was still missing!

Use damage reduction CD's or it is very likely you will die during his nuke phase

The adds he calls are level 92, these I never noticed a miss on. You're much more effective attacking these adds than the boss. (Dotting the boss is recommended though!)

In addition his spawn timer seems to be around 2 hours on our server.

EDIT: I can confirm that he is likely on a weekly reset (either 7 days or a tuesday, not sure), I've killed him every day except for release day and he hasn't given me anything since my first kill.

EDIT 2: Today he dropped "Claw of Anger" for me. This gave me a quest with a reward of a spec specific item. The quest is called Remnants of Anger. Everyone in the raid was able to loot it, nice little compensation if all you got was a bag of gold.EDIT 2.5: The quest gives 476 boots as far as I can tell.

EDIT 3: I can also confirm they can give you the same piece of loot you already have. I received my second set of boomkin tier legs this week, after receiving my first set last week. I had the legs equipped and still received a duplicate

EDIT 4: You can currently share a tag of the boss by having someone in the group who got the initial tag join your group. Both groups will still get loot. Can't confirm if this is intended or not, but it is working as of 10/3/2012

EDIT 5: This is now a faction tag boss as of 5.2, meaning if anyone from your faction is the first to hit it, you'll be able to get loot off it.

Comment by Enme

Found at 51:87 coordinates near the road between Shado-Pan Fallback and Westwind Rest.

Comment by Naris17

He has a 15 minute enrage timer. We found this out the hard way today.

I've been told that he can only be killed once a week for loot (a la LFR), but I'd need to confirm that later.

Not a terribly hard fight to pug with 40 people ranging from 86-90, but they do need to keep themselves spread during mind control so they don't wipe out the raid. There are also issues of healers not cycling their cooldowns, and the opposite faction being tools.

There's also the death laugh after he dies. If you've got the game sound on it's quite unsettling...

Comment by Kaimaani

Everyone in the group gets Cache of Sha-Touched Gold which can give you season 12 pvp epic items - or 28 gold only like it did for me :<

Comment by MelancholyRose

Drops Reins of the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent, according to the dungeon journal. Have yet to see it for confirmation.Edit: Drop confirmed.It is NOT a 100% drop chance. His loot is distributed like the new LFR loot system-- there are no "rolls" for things. Loot is automatically given to people in the raid, and I believe the mount is included in this rule. This, I gather, is to avoid the master looter ninja'ing it.I've also heard that the mount doesn't drop from the boss, but from inside of the Cache of Sha-Touched Gold. Would like confirmation on this.The mount does not drop from the cache, but from the boss, like the gear he drops. The Cache will only drop gold. You CAN win the mount by using an Elder Charm of Good Fortune.

The drop rate seems to be abysmally low.

Comment by karachu

It has nearly 1-2 hour spawn time,killed it twice today

Comment by CaNNoz92

Confirmed today that you CANNOT receive loot twice from the Sha in a two day period. Going to attempt to kill him everyday to determine the length on the lockout! (Probably the average Tuesday reset)

Comment by Lunarine

You will have a chance to get Tier 14 PvE / Season 12 PvP or Cache of Sha-Touched Gold (if you didn't win any loot) once every week from this world boss. So don't bother trying to farm the world bosses.

As of patch 5.0.5 hotfix, the Sha of Anger now respawns more frequently, but less predictably. (On some servers it has spawn times of 15-30minutes whereas some are on 2hours and above. I'm assuming it would be based on server population and some other factors.)

Upcoming patch 5.2 changes.

All world bosses are now Tap to Faction. This new system offers every eligible player of the same faction that engages a boss the chance to earn loot. Under the new system, players will only be able to earn loot from each world boss once per week, but bonus rolls apply. Bosses will now respawn more frequently as well.

Check to see if you've done Sha of Anger

/run local z,t,s={='Sha of Anger this week.'},GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'done',v) end

Big thanks to Valdemare for the macro.

Comment by sponge

I highly recommend (at this time) to avoid the area that spawns the Hozen. The Sha of Anger makes them elite and this may be a bug, it increases their spawn rate during the encounter.

Let me compare spawn sites.One Keg area has this spawn site I am referring to, which have these Hozen spawn. They come in a pack of 5-8 and patrol around the Sha's spawn point. These patrols spawn so frequently that we felt the encounter was broken (obviously not). Being a raid comprised of some 90's and some 89-87s, we could not kill all of these extra adds (hozen), the Ire, and break the MC. But I will say this that the spawn rate of these were so massive that within 15 seconds or 20, it seemed like 15 were spawning from both the east and west site. hense i pass this intel.

Now, the site we did down the Sha. This was near the Binan Village to the north west.Here there was only a couple native mobs which in comparison to the Hozen, very few and far between and the spawn rate during the encounter was less, perhaps every 30 seconds or each phase.

Also in comparison, we wiped countless times due to hozen site and down the Sha on our first attempt at the other site.

Before the Hozen site we were at the southern border of the zone between Shadow-Pan Fallback and Westwind rest. This site had elemental spawns which were more frequent than the Binan village spawns but much less than the Hozen spawns.

Site beware!

Comment by Dracovarius

I can confirm that you don't get a bag if you were not in the raid group that tagged him even though many sources claim you don't have to be (that you would only have to dps him, get on his aggro list).

So the rumours about everyone regardless of raid getting a bag are false.

Edit: Apparently in patch 5.2 the "Guildwars" system will be applied where you don't need to be in a raid group with tag to get loot from this boss. Just damaging it whilst your faction is attacking it will be sufficient.

Comment by Lilkai

Few things to keep an eye on:spread out during fight * run out of clouds * kill adds * cc MC'd players * if U die- corpserun asap

I killed him today - at first i took only 10 ppl but it was hard as 6 of us were 86-87 lvl (wipe) so i gathered about 35 ppl (still most at lvl 86-87) and everything went quite easy:)

Comment by iamjoe

Pretty easy fight, also, should be noted his respawn timer is very quick. I killed him around 2PM and joined a group later on at around 5PM and he is spawned in a different spot. He drops a bag like in LFR, mine had 23 gold in it, other people got some pvp epics and some got raid teir. Note: He can only be killed once a week and give loot. He does not drop Valor points

Comment by graceful

Just did this, it dropped Eternal Blossom Gloves boomkin gloves (while i was playing boomkin) Eternal Blossom GlovesEternal Blossom Gloveseternal blossom must be the first raid tier in panda ( i lvl 496 )

Spread out during the fight, do not forget the adds - and...Blizz Basics: Do not stand in ^&*!s on the ground (the dark foggy clouds hurts). Also, do the corpserun if you end up with that being needed!

Bring enough tanks and enough healers, and make sure you have dps'ers doing their thing - and you can loot him.

Good Luck, everyone.

Comment by Clucker

There are more than these 4 Spawnpoints.

Some Coords right from the 49,69 spawn is another one.

Comment by dreamplayer

I can confirm that Elder Charm of Good Fortune does work for Sha of Anger.I killed him my first time a few days ago, got the Cache of Sha-Touched Gold, but no loot other than gold. Today I killed him again. This time I had 3 Elder Charm of Good Fortune and I was asked if I wanted an extra roll for an item. I pressed need/accept and was given a malevolent item for my class/spec.

Other posts inform me that you can use the Charms on the same boss several times a week. And essentially get 4 chances (1 normal + 3 charms) per week. Or save them up and kill him 6 times the next week for a total of 7 attempts at loot.

Additionally on my third attempt of the week everyone in the raid got an item called (link to Battle.net: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/89317). This items begins a quest called Remnants of Anger: Remnants of Anger which simply tells you to go see a guy in Townlong Steppes, right next to the Shado-Pan quartermaster. You deliver the quest, recieve about 45g and 476 ilvl boots for your class/spec. This is a rare drop. Too early to tell the droprate.

Comment by dreamplayer

Currently most raids require up to 40 man at or near level 90 to kill him. Sha of Anger has 2 phases, that are very similiar.

In phase one he gains 2 rage per second up to 100 (p1 lasts 50 seconds).In p2 he spends the rage on Unleashed Wrath. Everything else is the same.When he reaches 0 rage, p1 starts over.

Aggressive BehaviorEssentially a mind control that breaks at 50% health. Damaging mindcontrolled allies should be first priority, as it's lose of dps and extra damage taken. (Lasts 30 seconds, so they can be CCed for the duration, but with all the AoE going around on adds, this is difficult in reality, and not really worth it)Growing Anger is the mind control spell and the reason that people need to spread out (5yards), along with Endless Rage.

You will have a chance to get Tier 14 PvE / Season 12 PvP or Cache of Sha-Touched Gold (if you didn't win any loot) once every week from this world boss. So don't bother trying to farm the world bosses.As of patch 5.0.5 hotfix, the Sha of Anger now respawns more frequently, but less predictably. (On some servers it has spawn times of 15-30minutes whereas some are on 2hours and above. I'm assuming it would be based on server population and some other factors.)

Comment by Healmongous

I can confirm that the Cache of Sha-Touched Gold does not give you loot whatsoever. Loot is completely random and based on your class/spec - LFR loot system.You also have a chance of winning the Reins of the Heavenly Onyx Cloud Serpent. I can confirm in running this world boss practically every time he spawns. About five mounts have dropped for various people - This is on US/Oceanic-Khaz'goroth.

You can run this boss in the good ol' groups of forty. However I suggest not running twenty-five mans until your raid has sufficiently decent gear. Albeit I've already seen some prejudice by PvE players saying that it's a PvE fight even though it's a PvE/PvP boss - so please don't discredit PvP players.

Happy raiding and I hope my information about the Cache doesn't displease you!

Comment by Interest

Drops a new item called "Claw of Anger" that can be looted off the boss by the entire raid (not in database yet, will update with item link asap). It starts a quest to go to Townlong Steppes that awards ilvl 476 boots (also awards 500 reputation with the Shado-Pan).

Comment by Thestool

How Overcome by Anger works is that you walk into the sha touched ground and you get it. Simple as that, Just don't be on a mount and you will get the damage buff.

Comment by Exystredofar

I just killed Sha of Anger for the second time this week, I was not able to use an Elder Charm of Good Fortune on it. The first kill of the week let me use one, but I was unable to use it again for loot on the second kill, so don't bother killing it more than once a week.

Comment by jcheatham0012

Can confirm you can only use your charms twice on him. Just Killed him for the third time with no option to use charms.

Comment by Amoa

Just got a kill on Sha, Claw of Anger dropped, and every member of the killing raid got to loot one.

Really nice that everyone gets an epic item on their first kill now.

Comment by nijaiseeyou

You can kill this boss with 40 men raid You can also resurrect your self by running to your dead body. Kill the guys that are coursed. And you will be good to go.

Note: you should have around 5-7 healers more the better. Also you should have 2 tanks one aggro main boss one aggro adds.

Comment by m4DD0gg

Having killed the sha the first week i was happy but now as more and more people hit 90 and want to kill him i have seen many trade chats demanding upto 10k in gold to be invited to a 40 man pug.....that is plain wrong.

Comment by Califpornia

Seems like now respawn timer is 1h30mKilled him at 18-02, re-spawned at 19-32 -_-

Comment by Corq

look at those sexy crab legs hes got. I'd boil those up in a heart beat. Smear it with butter. Mmmhmm

Comment by DjDanee

Something strange is happening on Arathor-EU. I've wanted to kill Sha today multiple times and haven't seen it spawn all day. On General chat people were trying to make raids for it, but it always ended after a few (or maybe 30mins) wait, when no boss showed up.

Any information about him? Did Blizzard change the spawn time to a day or something?

Comment by Torian101

We just killed Sha (Arathor-EU), no bugs, despawns, nothing. Might wanna check to see if he respawns when he's supposed to next time.

Comment by Narts

umad?

Comment by Kolbruns

On the Medivh server, we've had no trouble with Sha respawns. Is everyone checking all the spawn points? Sorry if that sounds simplistic, but you'd be surprised.

Comment by lakimsa

I killed Sha of Anger today as a holy priest with a disc offspec, and I also clicked healer for the role check. He dropped shadow tier gloves for me. This is probably working as intended, but I'll find out after my ticket gets answered (sometime next month...) Kinda lame.

Comment by Grishord

You can NOT do a "bonus coin" loot roll after your first kill of the week, tested it myself.

As of 10/9/12 He has a longer/random spawn time, can't just camp him knowning when he'll spawn like before.

You MUST be in the initial tagging group to get loot credit (even if you leave that group you still have tag credit) but if you join late you do NOT get tag credit.

All tested and confirmed by myself.

Comment by Kokiron

I killed this guy today and he was back up less than an hour later. My guess is they changed the timer to be a lot more random that it was.

Comment by Taunta

As of 10/9/12, Sha of Anger was spawning every ~30 minutes or so. Was questing in Kun-Lai at the time, so was able to hear him yelling every time he popped up. Saw him personally go down at least four times between 4pm and 6pm. (CST)Server: US- Frostwolf (PVP)Character: Taunta(Horde) Panda Hunter

Comment by lolablerants

I've found something VERY interesting with the loot rules for this boss. mid way through the fight some people weren't corpse running and after warning them, i kicked them from the raid and invited new people. both new people AND the people who i removed from the raid got loot! so it made me think, and i hope someone here will be able to test, if you pull with 40 people, then say 20 people leave the group, and you invite 20 more. will that make 60 people total get loot from the boss?

Comment by fgbkw

If you are in the raid with the tap, you can drop raid and form another raid, and everyone in your newly formed raid will ALSO have the tap.

If someone in the raid with the tap drops raid and joins ANOTHER raid that does not have the tap, the second raid will ALSO get the tap. You will have to attack the boss for it to go red. You do not even have to have lead for the tap to spread.

I've joined a raid that had the tap, dropped raid, formed a new raid and given that entire raid the tap. I've also joined a raid with tap, dropped raid, joined another raid, and that entire raid had the tap. I've also gotten the tap, dropped raid, and invited all the randoms standing around wanting to buy slots. Everyone got the tap and loot.

Fighting over world spawns is stupid and pointless. Everyone in the area can get loot, and it costs no one anything to spread the tap.

Comment by zybero

On 10/09/2012 Sha of Anger spawned after exactly 15 minutes and 55 seconds on US-Burning Legion a medium population PvP realm.

Comment by mythaius

Comment by Gladiaattori

Must be bugged at Grim Batol (eu).. Camped it yesterday for 6 hours. We covered every spawnpoint and it didn't spawn. Some guys in my raid camped it for total of 8 hrs and no spawn. Don't know if it spawned at all after I went to bed.

Comment by zapou

Is there anyone to comfirm that this boss gives experience to all alive players in the zone? I got 500k exp as i was leveling from no where and i think was from this kill.My mate was corpse running and didn't get the exp.

Comment by Krisaff

One guy was sayng that if elite "furious" mobs start spawning at one of sha's spawn points, that is an indicator that he will be spawning soon. i'm not sure I buy it. Anyone know anything about this?

Comment by fuda

Anyone knows whether the pvp drops are also spec related?Just killed Sha of Anger as a brewmaster monk and got the agi-back for pvp. Do you have to kill him as a mistweaver to get the mistweaver pvp items?

Comment by hellomynameis

From what I can see PvP helm, legs and chest won't drop from this boss, so go ahead and buy those first (except weapon ofc).(why downrate, its accurate information and not mentioned elsewhere, useful for PvPers who don't want to buy some item only to see it drop the next week)

Comment by Noxyuz

He can drop something you already got from him, and you can't even trade it to other people in the raid.

Comment by Godmyster

I dont think this has been asked so if you do this boss 1 time a week, you cant get any loot anymore or what? cause this does not show if your saved or not for this boss.

Comment by Lakka

Another spawn point, Fire Camp Yongqi

Comment by tuabinda

So, how do I know if I have already killed him this week if I forgot? Is there any way? D:

EDIT: solution!"Make a macro and paste the following:

/run local z,t,s={='Sha of Anger this week.'},GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'done',v) end

Whenever you kill sha, this spell "Sha of Anger Loot" is triggered in the background.This macro will basically just check if that spell has been triggered for the week and let you know :)

Comment by Grubitsch

Comment by HolyShield

Strange, I got the tier dps legs from him today, however I was in tank spec (and role).

Are we supposed to get only loot for current spec?

Edit: Just talked with a GM and he was telling me that world bosses will drop based only on class not spec.

Comment by bollwerk

If/when you get loot, can it be for a different spec than you're currently in?Or do you only get loot for the spec you did the fight in?

I can sadly confirm that if You downed him this week, a second kill won't let You use Elder Charm of Good Fortune, even though I haven't used it first time...And I was hoping for some chance of loot while helping others even if I've done the boss... Is it the same with other boss kills?

Comment by yzerman

You CAN receive Cache of Sha-Touched Gold and Claw of Anger if you are not yet level 90. I am not sure what the cutoff is, but I killed him on my 89 monk healer and received both items. However (stating the obvious here) you cannot start the quest from Claw of Anger until you are 90. Hopefully someone else can confirm you can receive a tier piece or PVP item from the boss prior to 90.{◕ ◡ ◕}

Comment by INvShika

Today I killed Sha and got gold. For some reason, my bonus roll glitched out and I didn't get a chance to use it. I killed Sha again; no bonus roll. Hope it doesn't glitch out on you too ~_~...

Comment by Pops715

Would like to kill this guy but since I don't do much raiding, I'm not exactly sure how to proceed. Since he's a world boss, you can't queue for him. I read somewhere online that you have to "spam chat" to get a raid group together. Is there a specific place to go to do this? Do I need to go to one of the major cities? I've never really used the "Chat" part of the Social window before so not really sure what to do next.

Comment by Lunata

By the way (sorry if it was mentioned before - I couldn't find it here) - Sha of Anger and Galleon have same cooldown. So if you didn't receive any loot - it might be because you already killed Galleon during current cooldown (that might be a bug - not approved, actually =\)

And also, if because of any reason you can't see the window that offers you to use the coin of happiness {◕ ◡ ◕} (Elder Charm of Good Fortune), problem might be in your interface (addons) - try to use /disableaddons or clean up Cache, Interface and WTF folders - usually it really helps :)

Anyone know at which levels you are entitled for loot after contributing in the fight?

By Darkthronix I went there a week ago with my then level 85 warrior. Didn't win any item, but I got Settle Down, Bro and Claw of Anger.

Anyone tried lower then lvl 85? say 60? 70? 80?Theoretically, say you would be summoned there, and most likely only laying dead upon Sha being killed.

Edit: There was no end to my curiosity so I had to try it out. As a level 60 I (sadly) received Cache of Sha-touched gold and were able to loot the claw of anger for the lvl 90 quest-boots.

Comment by Sharkyman

Indeed only one group can tag him. But you ca share cd with other groups by being in the group that tagged the boss , leaving the group and enter others group will share the tag.

Comment by SmDshka

I don't know if that was bug, but he randomly started throughing phrases in Demonic language. Here's how it looked like: http://puu.sh/1pk1T That's strange, considering that his type is Elemental after all...

having more people in your group or having other people win loot will not affect your chances at winning gear/mount/gold

The Sha seems to spawn a lot on my server (Tanaris). I was in a raid that dropped him, then I went off to do a quick turn in, and as I was flying back across the summit, he was already up again. Wasn't more than 20 minutes after he had fallen the previous time.

Sha of Gold

Comment by jessican666

Sha of Anger is one of the two Pandarian world bosses alongside Galleon, that can be found at various Sha Touched areas in Kun-Lai Summit. These areas can easily be identified by the black areas, with white geysers gushing out. Killing this all powerful Sha will take a minimum of 25-30 Players, and is no easy task, but does reward you with Settle Down, Bro, which is also needed for The Shado-Master.

Unlike Galleon who drops only high level PvE gear, and Son of Galleon's Saddle, Sha of Anger drops a variety of item level 483 PvP gear, as well as 2 M.o.P PvE Tier slot items for each class(Normal 492 not Raid Finder 483). Mostly players are dissapointed when all it drops is Cache of Sha-Touched Gold which gives 28 gold and 50 silver. Luckily Elder charm of good fortune does work on both Galleon and Sha of Anger, so having one handy is a good idea to give yourself a second shot at good loot.

GoodluckHappy Hunting

Comment by malrion

When you just turned 90, are more then 3-4 days away from raid reset and think about doing this please take the following into account.

There are Elder Charms of Good Fortune these give you another chance to drop loot from this guy. It takes 45 dailies to get 3 of these charms(only 3 a week), thats actually not that much in daily panda land so waiting until you get them can be rather useful. Especially if you are like me and get unlucky with heroic drops and are not able to do any other raids the first week of 90.

Comment by Willigsire

You can join a raid to kill him, regardless of level, theoretically speaking. I have gone after him several times as a level 87. Keep in mind, that if he DOES drop loot for you, you can not use it until level 90.

Comment by Kehdgar

Note: shortly before he apears there will be 4-6 plumes of sha smoke shooting up in the air in the area he will spawn.

You can check if you have already killed Sha this week with this macro:

/run local z,t,s={='Sha of Anger this week.'},GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'done',v) end

SHA OF GOLD

Comment by Aquifel

5.2 Patch notes:

All world bosses are now Tap to Faction. This new system offers every eligible player of the same faction that engages a boss the chance to earn loot. Under the new system, players will only be able to earn loot from each world boss once per week, but bonus rolls apply. Bosses will now respawn more frequently as well.

I don't think the Sha can respawn much faster, but hey, dont even have to get in the raid anymore.

Comment by Jija

You do not have to be level 90 to loot the quest item; Claw of Anger. I have two of these in my bags from sequential kills @ level 87.

Comment by missdemeanr

I've done the Sha twice now with both 20 man or so raids and my character is only a level 87. My PVP was enabled both times and I had no problems. We had an awesome group on both rounds. Our healers were very good, I never died once either time. I mainly wanted the XP, and wasn't too focused on getting the drops. One reason I love this NPC world boss is bcuz u get ur class specific gear WITHOUT having to roll with others for it. The first time I got Malevolent leggings as well as the Claw of Anger. The second time, I got the Chest of gold, and the claw again. I can turn the claw in to get another item. Since I'm only an 87 toon, I can't use them until I'm a 90, as others have also stated-but u can still get the gear. If u are a lower toon tho and ur in PVP mode, be careful. U may see Horde around in the same area in that mode as well, and they will kill u. The experience was enjoyable and I recommend it if ur a LOWER toon than 90, but no lower than 87. Most LFR's will let u join if u REALLY want too so u can.:-)

Comment by benx2011

so i see the drop rates for most items, including the cache of gold, are 0.05%. i killed him over 20 times now with different toons, all of them got the cache of gold. Apparently the drop rate for the Cache of gold is not 0.05%, more like 95%

Comment by verduran

Sigh... over 3 months into MoP, more than 50 Sha kills across 5 characters, using coins on every kills... that is about 100 loots - and not a single tier piece... all I got are 9 pvp pieces (and I never PvP).Seriously? I had much better luck with the Wintergrasp/Baradin Hold system.Something needs to be done for those with horrible luck, both Sha and LFR included.

One word: Huggable.

Comment by athika

loot-ID reset is in the night from tuesday to wednesday with the server maintenance.

Comment by Flosion

This boss (as well as Galleon) was bugged and did not drop the mount for a single person up until the recent restarts on 9/02/2013. EU got the restarts a little earlier than US and people have already got the mount since then.

Comment by Iceveiled

I've been putting off getting in a pug to down this guy, but finally did so 2 weeks ago as of the date of this post. Like an idiot, I forgot to loot him for the claw of anger on first kill. I was putzing around when I suddenly realize I should've tried to loot him. I flew back to where the fight was and sure enough his body hadn't despawned yet, so if you're like me and you forget to loot him on your first try, his body sticks around for quite awhile after the fight.

No loot dropped for me that time (or again last week - I'm going to do him once a week now) and using a charm also only netted me extra gold. Here's to trying again and again and again.

Comment by Willemsii

Sha of Anger has a re-spawn time of 15 minutes!

Comment by Yodainau

Big, angry... but not really green?

Comment by DarkTrepie

Loot drops seem to reset every Tuesday (maintenance day). I killed him on a Saturday and then again on the Wednesday following. He dropped loot for me both times.

Comment by genasi

as of 5.2, world bosses are Tap to Faction, which means you no longer need to be in the group that tagged him (or any group for that matter), as long as your faction has tagged him

Tried it out today on a fresh 90 shaman and I was able to loot the quest item as well as a piece of pvp equipment off him without being grouped at all

Comment by VarikAlleria

Extending the macro that has been posted by others here and elsewhere this works for Sha of Anger and Galleon at the same time (don't have QuestIDs for Oondasta and Nalak yet, assuming they work the same way...)

/run local z,t,s={='Sha of Anger this week.',='Galleon this week.'},GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'done',v) end

Comment by Elzurdo

Sha of Anger and Galleon only one macro

/run print("-->"..(GetQuestsCompleted() and " You have" or " You don´t have").." done Sha of Anger this week.")/run print("-->"..(GetQuestsCompleted() and " You have" or " You don´t have").." done Galleon this week.")

Comment by regma

Went to go and fight him recently and noticed that he was speaking "Demonic". Has anyone else noticed this too?

Not sure if this was changed in 5.2 or what but the next time he shown up, in another location, he was speaking like normal.

Comment by Nihlo

There is a nice macro which checks if you already lootet the 4 WorldBosses with matching colours:

Comment by megoodgal

I did not get the Claw of Anger on my first kill, but I didn't 'loot' either. He did give me some nice gloves.... but can I get the quest again, on 2nd kill since I didn't loot it the first time around?

Comment by Mirrodin

Today is Wednesday, the maintenance day where all raids and valor points are reset, i killed today both Galleon and Sha of Anger and i received no credit for killing them. If they don't reset every Wednesday then what day do they reset ?

Comment by Kanariya

The Sha of Anger is no longer classified as a Rare Elite, not that he's been rare for a long time now.

Comment by Seglarnsbror

I sure would've been very angry too, if random adventurers grouped up and killed me for loot..

Comment by Seglarnsbror

I feel for this guy.. I would've been very angry too, if random adventurers grouped up and killed me for loot.

Comment by Combine123

When you are around Sha of Anger, the world turns a tinge of blue, I didn't notice it at first but it makes the world look at lot more depressing :(

Comment by jstrahan

Just for S&Gs, I mounted my Gryphon and rode straight through him (I am a 90 Mage, iLvl 458). Of course he fired at me, but I flew straight away from him and he kept firing halfway across KS. Even with Cauterize, he killed me just as I was about to go out of range. Moral: Don't mess with him unless you are ready; he has no sense of humor.

Comment by Firlox

whats the xp gain for any toon not lvl 90?

Would obviously be reduced if part of a raid group if any, but what would it be if I was lvl 87 and just got the tag from the outside (as in not part of a group at all)?

just a basic xp gain - not from double and/or any other boost sources. Im having trouble finding out myself as I always die using my melee classes and my casters are already 90.

thanks

Comment by Wowguy07

I haven't seen anyone post this, so forgive me if this is redundant. I targeted him targeted him today and the silver dragon around his portrait seems to have been replaced with a gold one. I haven't killed him any time recently so I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but he appears to be no longer considered rare.

Comment by furianXO

The claw that drops gives a quest that rewards boots... i also got boots as a drop, and the claw

What Is the NPC scan ID for this boss

Comment by Whiterock

It's not very practical though, you can only auto-attack him and get around 500k hp down before he gets you low and you need to jump away to heal which will take up to 1minute to heal to max(mobs that hit you will make it longer).

With ~261,5m hp it will take you around 523 charge-ins ~ 523 minutes ~ 9 hours... Implying you will not die by accident. Way less in group and less tragic.

Be careful with Berserk which comes in 15min after pull. While at it - he one-shots you. So be prepared and wait till it falls off. I waited 20min more after it fell off, and seems he don't re-cast it ever again.

Looking forward to see some crazy Kota Kon raid to down this boss o_O

So the plan: Loot is probably won't trigger if you kill it riding Kota Kon, so you will have to Leave Vehicle when he is about to die.

I would recommend doing it with ~ 10 people, when one got aggro - uptime of dps on others increase, making the kill faster. I assume Aggressive Behavior won't work on raid members when they ride Kota Kon.

So this is an option for a low-populated servers or just for people who seek challange :D I do NOT know if this can be considered a bug though.

Comment by Ballybog

Does that make you angry? *short laugh*/run PlaySoundFile("sound\\CREATURE\\SHAOFANGER\\VO_Kun_Lai_Anger_Kill_02.OGG")

No. If anything, that mocking tone and laugh cracks me up every time! If only my toon could have it...

Its Fel Reaver all over again ... xD

Comment by Eido

As of April 7th, 2014 (Patch 5.4.7 Hotfix):

"All world bosses in Mists of Pandaria are no longer tap-to-faction. Players from both factions that engage the world boss at the same time are now eligible for loot." - Source.

Ladies and Gentlemen, i give you, the manifestation of the internet

Comment by Dramfiolz

It does not seem that it is possible to solo Sha of Anger at 100, even if your gear would allow it. He will mind control a solo player, even without pets, and then reset because he has no targets.

Comment by Adalwolfa1

Easiest MoP world boss to solo as a hunter, did a few nights ago at 653 ilvl. Your pet doesn't get mced and when you do your pets health gets increased as well so there's no way it'll die (my pets total hp was almost 800k during mcs) especially if you cast Mend Pet just before getting mced. It just takes a while to kill, took roughly 9:30 for me. Used a shale spider for the kill but I don't think it really matters, a spirit beast would probably be just as good with its self heal.

Comment by Everliving14

This boss can be soloed as a death knight, or by any class that is capable of surviving his melee damage, and the damage he does at range.

The strategy is fairly simple. To prevent yourself from being mind controlled, you need to run far away (more than 100 yards). This is because the ability that mind controls, Growing Anger, can only affect players within a 100 yard radius; use a timer such as DBM to know exactly when he casts this. You can see the linked video* for demonstration of exact positioning. The Sha will spam his reach attack if you do so - this barely tickled my DK.

About 8-9k DPS is needed to beat the enrage, but you lose quite a lot of uptime on the boss owing to having to do the above. I would recommend 635+ gear for this.

*Don't take the other aspects of the video entirely seriously. Shortly after 6.0 launched, a hotfix was deployed that reduced all boss mob health by ~20% (give or take a bit). Sha of Anger only has 7.6M health on live servers, so you won't have to outheal the enrage or anything like that, most likely.

Comment by amymicaela

He is at (50,68) the spot shown on the map above is not where he is, I stood there for a while then saw him standing in the distance.

Comment by prickskytt

If you are trying to do this solo or only as two people, it's going to reset due to the mind controll. When you get MCd, the boss will see you all as friendly and therefore reset. I've heard many people having problem with this and I thought I'd sort it out :)

Comment by Sarthorius

Comment by benx2011

Very easy to solo as BM hunter. Get a tenacious pet, by nature, it receives more healing and with Spirit Bond talent, you and your pet will never die. Even when you are MCed and everyone attacks your pet. I am 661 BM hunter. When i am MCed, my pet's HP goes up to 837K. and with Spirit Bond talent, it heals 43+K per tick. Eventually, you will kill the boss.

Comment by ElevenX

If you see a hunter soloing Sha, wait until he's at <10% before you join in, that way you don't kill the hunter's pet and reset the fight.

Comment by Ozzayel

Anyone had the mount drop since 6.2? They've fixed the loot glitch where everyone gets the same item, be nice to know they haven't accidentally removed the mount from loot tables or something ^^

Tooltips and dungeon journal reflect ability values for one encounter version. Please refer to "Effect" section on spell pages to see values for all raid sizes and difficulties.

Seethe
– The Sha of Anger projects seething anger at his current target if no players stand within his melee attack range. Seethe inflicts 8880 to 10320 Shadow damage and increases Shadow damage taken by the player by 10% for 20 sec.

Endless Rage
– The anger brought by the Alliance and Horde to Pandaria flows through the Sha of Anger, erupting forth as a shower of Sha energy. Each missile inflicts 11100 to 12900 Shadow damage to players within 3 yards of the impact point and summons forth an Ire and a cloud of Bitter Thoughts.

Ire
– A manifestation of anger summoned by the Sha of Anger's Endless Rage.

Bitter Thoughts
– The cloud of Bitter Thoughts prevents all players within 3 yards from either attacking or casting spells. The cloud persists for 1 min.

Aggressive Behavior
– The affected player erupts with anger, causing the player and all allies within 5 yards to fall under the control of the Sha of Anger for 30 sec. Increases damage dealt by 200% and maximum health by 200%. Aggressive Behavior is removed if the player falls below 50% remaining health.
